Matrimony Mayhem and Murder

A Fiona Quinn Mystery #10

By C.S. McDonald

Fiona Quinn and Detective Nathan Landry are about to tie the knot officially. They've been secretly married for a while now but now it's time for a big ta-do for their families. 

To Fiona's relief she and Nathan's mom, Rita Landry hit it off from the start. And then it's time for the future in-laws to meet at a dinner at Fiona's house. And Nancy Quinn is determined to get Rita to spill any and all secrets of her life. For which Rita is well prepared - her profession has equipped her adequately.

But from there everything starts spinning out of control. The wedding planner is out of the picture and Chad (yep, Fiona's little brother) finds himself in a major, big-time mess. As Fiona would say YIKES. There's just one little problem Fiona finds herself on a plane leaving the good old US of A behind. Okay maybe two problems she's in handcuffs and there are just days until the wedding!

Will Nathan and Fiona make it to their big day? Or will murder and mayhem derail everything? This is one wedding you don't want to miss!

Matrimony Mayhem and Murder is the book you don't want to miss. The action isn't frantic but it is nonstop as each storyline progresses to the conclusion. As with all the Fiona Quinn books you can thoroughly enjoy it without having read the previous books - but once you've read one you'll want to enjoy the rest. This is a perfect read especially if you are cuddled up inside trying to avoid the winter's extreme cold.

I was provided a complimentary copy of this book with no expectations but that I provide my honest opinion - all thoughts expressed are my own.

Then the woman Fiona has never met shows up--Nathan’s enigmatic mom, Rita Landry. And she’s wearing a gorgeous but mysterious necklace. Worse, Rita is being followed by two sinister-looking men, forcing her to flee the country. And who gets dragged along? None other than the bride-to be! How does a girl prepare for all of that? Looks like Fiona’s perfectly planned matrimony has morphed into mayhem and murder!

For twenty-six years C.S. McDonald’s life whirled around a song and a dance. Classically trained at Pittsburgh Ballet Theater School, The Pittsburgh Dance Alloy, and many others, she became a professional dancer and choreographer. During that time, she choreographed many musicals and an opera for the Pittsburgh Savoyards. In 2011 she retired from her dance career to write. Under her real name, Cindy McDonald, she writes murder-suspense and romantic suspense novels. In 2014 she added the pen name, C.S. McDonald, to write children’s books for her grandchildren. In 2016 she added the Fiona Quinn Mysteries to that expansion. She decided to write the cozy mystery series that everyone, including teens and tweens, can read and enjoy. Presently, the Fiona Quinn Mysteries nine books with a tenth slated for 2021. The books are also available on audio, narrated by Maren Swenson Waxenberg. Cindy’s newest venture is The Owl’s Nest Mysteries. Once again, she has set her cozy mystery in Pittsburgh. The female protagonist, Alexa Owl, is much different from Fiona Quinn. The Owl’s Next Mysteries has a little grit, a little time travel, a little romance, and a whole lot of cozy! Ms. McDonald resides on her Thoroughbred farm known as Fly by Night Stables near Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, with her husband, Bill, and her poorly behaved Cocker Spaniel, Allister.
